OK, good to know. Anyone go to this auction at the end of May? Seems odd nobody reported back about it. I'm going to try to go to the next one on the calendar.

I didn't hear about this one... Guess I missed out. I have been checking American Amusements for another auction, but it looks like not much is going on there. Did I miss something? I've been away and trying not to buy cabinets for a while... but now I've cleaned the garage and, well, you know.

Aw man! Wish I had gone. I haven't been to one in a long time and I talked myself out of this one. Sounds like that was a bad move. :( Hoping to see those pics!

Well, losing ten bucks just to scope it out is definitely a deterrent. Sometimes I like to go just for the hell of it and only lose the gas money. Ten bucks more makes it even less likely.

Thanks for the details! I need to try and make it to another one soon.

Any reports or pictures yet? I was way to slammed to even consider going.

I hope nobody minds me posting this here, but a site I write for is looking for more help - writing and otherwise. At PixlBit, we write reviews, editorials, and news. If you are interested in writing reviews, previews, or spouting off about things video game related, follow the instructions...

Great pics. Looks like it could be a great auction.

I won't be able to make it without a lot of shifting around. That said, can someone who is going call/text me if they have one thing in particular? If willing to do so, PM me please. I will drive out there if it's there. Thanks!

Man, I was hoping the "35 games" meant "35 OK games and the rest are not good." Not so! It IS terrible. The room is empty. I have no interest in light gun games and that is what half of them were. I left at 9:30. Arrived at 9:20. Hope next week's is good! Sorry I can't make that one...

I have figured it out! The wires had to be switched like jimkirk said... I just didn't understand why this would be. So, I decided to move all the wire management stuff around to accommodate my new layout. It worked, but I was still puzzled why this flip happened. Luckily, I don't throw...

OK, well this is exactly what I didn't want to do because it wasn't this way before when it was up and working, but I tried it. The wires don't reach. Well, I can unscrew them from their ties to make it work, but there's something else going on here. What is wrong with me?????

Here are a couple of pictures. I did check all the connections and nothing looks flipped or anything. Not saying it's not possible, but all the colors seem to line up at connections and nothing is jammed into place. I should also note that this is a swapped joystick, but I don't see how that...

The thing is that then the wires would be stretched across the joystick "box" and not neatly attached to the switch right next to the appropriate tacked down set of wires.

I finally hooked my DK back up after having it disassembled for about a year. Amazingly, it works! Only problem (so far) is that the controls seem to be backwards (press up to go down, left to go right, etc.). I've tried different combos of attachments to the microswitches, and nothing seems...
